South Gippsland Highway - Country Roads Board photographs

The Country Roads Board was established in 1913 to maintain major roads in Victoria. Previous to this all roads were the responsibility of the local councils. The Public Records Office has digitised much of the CRB's photographic collection, you can access them here.  This post shows the South Gippsland Highway photographs from this region; the Princes Highway photos can be seen here.  Other CRB photos of the region can be seen here.
